i guess this illustrates the fleet strength, but i tend to look at everything in terms of solo targets and group targets, so i find any attempts at intimidation laughable. he's right though, inactives are pretty much the same as people who fail to or miss the return of their FRS.

As far as Saleen's message goes,... while I don't necessarily approve of it, I do understand it... some AA guy was pissin' in his cheerieos, so Saleen sent him a warning message... I get it... and even if it was an inactive, it was still a good hit, showcasing his fleets power... it makes a point... Nard thinks that it's "funny"... but I still see the point.

there is a difference between posting it on the forums, and sending it through PM to intimidate

I agree Krown, there is a difference between posting it in private as a warning message - and posting it on the forums, calling it out to the attention of the entire community...

I don't necessarily agree with it... if anything, I think that it would just anger someone from AA, rather than make them think twice about attacking...

But, Nard is the one who called it out publically, instead of in private,... and did so in a manor used to belittle Saleen at the same time,... of course, as Nard seems to do this to anyone he disagrees with, I've come to expect nothing less from him.

This is pretty funny, unfortunately your little buddy I had sent that to wouldn't lock his heph for me......Nardy whats even more funny are your PATHETIC attempts at getting a rise out of someone by your pointless posts in this forum!

I'm no expert on the rules... but doesnt sending that message constitute extortion or something?

Ummm.... how exactly is that supposed to be extortion?...

This is a war game... telling a player, "if you attack me, I'll destroy you." isn't extortion. I would agree that it's a threat... but the threat is directed towards the player's fleet... not towards the player himself - so it doesn't break any rules.

I found funny that Saleen sends threatening messages and when gets probes spams with buddy request...

I never once said to anyone I would come over there and take your big head and shove it where their sun doesn't shine weather it be in private message or else where so not sure where you get I was threatening by telling one of your buddies that I would blow their ships up! lmao

He has not made a single decent hit in this game, he bought the account, his old account was going nowhere and the new one is going backwards...

Thats funny you should suggest such a thing, you dont control my account and dont see the battle reports I post on my alliance's forum so not sure where you get that idea in your head, but dont doubt you tell yourself that to make yourself feel better cause I probably would if I was in your position. I've made MANY very nice and most always profitable attacks except for the unique situation I found myself in tonight when I followed Lord richhawk's 10k proms home and ended up killing his entire fleet. As for going nowhere with my old account, thats why I continually was increasing in rank, so yeah moving on..... Lets see when I purchased this account it was ranked 16 or was it 15 I forget, question is what is it ranked now!?! Yep to me that shows im going backwards ....once again nothing but PATHETIC attempts at getting a rise out of someone!

Again there is no difference between inactives and someone who doesnt FRS they BOTH could come on at any time and get a GA together to follow you home so now that I've tore your PATHETIC replies completely apart its time for you to get a life.
